I wish I did!

Sorry to disappoint but at last count I think 4 pairs of 89 trainers and NO Jordan's (yet), although I am planning a Returns outfit one day, so the Jordan's are another addition to the to do list

It is such a pity the latex rubber boot armour and spats, have not stood the test of time on those screen used boots. Nice to see Michaels signature is still visible too!

Actual reply, not like the above.

Information about 'BAT' footwear'.

Did you know Tim Burton and Michael Keaton's Batman only wore Nike as footwear?

In Batman he wore Nike Air trainers, commonly known as "Air trainer III" or 3. In Returns he wore the "Air Jordan 6". Of course both were modified to suit 'The Batman', but both are still available even today up to 30 years later.

Although these were popular at the time, they were also re-issued later but not always available or in stock in your size or area. If you really want to get a pair, try looking on specialist retail websites or your local Craigs****, G**Tree and **bay or local swap meet/market/boot sale (also try searching around your local area online)? Be careful on price, because I have seen these go for under £20 ( or about $20 these days or up to £345.00). :You pay what you and the seller agree!

In my opinion, try to look for black or mostly black soles and sides (insole? - not the correct technical term), as that is the part hardest part to dye or colour permanently. believe me, I have tried. Soles are the easiest to wear off if you wanna wear them outdoors.

Any 'Top colour', can be dyed black with a multitude of products readily available. If you want to add 'spats or boot armour' that's up to you. Again research and you should find lots of information about material and construction of these additions.

Hope it helps.
Regards
Mr A.

Most excellent find.

I also have two pairs like yours on the right. Another pair similar to the ones on the left, bought on my last trip back to the USA. The right mostly black pair, would be the ones easiest to adapt.
